Thinking back to the unbearable hardship she once lived through, Skyler had often thought about running away without letting Zavier know she had been there. However, whenever she thought of Cornelia's affection for her and Marcus' help, she just couldn't let it go.
Even if the future would be full of challenges, she would not back down. With all sorts of mental preparation, Skyler spent a long night.
As dawn broke, Zavier woke up to see her in front of him. She was staring at him, silently, without saying a word.
Zavier, thinking it was the aftermath of drinking, quickly shut his eyes and shook his head, "God, I must be seeing things."
Skyler just watched his reaction quietly.
When Zavier opened his eyes again, the woman in front of him was still there. "Am I dreaming?"
Skyler sat up straight, and whispered, "It's me."
Zavier asked, "Who are you?"
Skyler answered, "Skyler."
Zavier said, "Stop bullshitting! Before I lose my temper, you better tell me who asked you to pretend to be Skyler to get close to me. If I find out, you'll regret it."
Skyler scoffed, "Weren't you looking for me? Now that I'm right in front of you, you don't recognize me?"
It was not that Zavier didn't recognize her, he just couldn't believe his own eyes. He thought Skyler would never just come back to him after all the trouble she went through to escape. He must be dreaming.
Skyler remained silent.
